D'IE HARDS WIN AT WOOLHOPE

 

On Sunday, 23rd February, a dry day, with blue sky and just a few gusts of wind, finally saw Goodrich 'D'ie Hards get their tennis match against Woolhope 'C' underway after cancellations due to the wet weather.  The first pair, Sue Harley and Karla Morris, played Woolhope's first pair, taking the first set 6-1. The second set saw the Woolhope team come back taking the set 7-5. Sue and Karla focused and fought back to take the final set 6-3.  On the other court, second pair Di Webb and Lisa Hill, took on the Woolhope second pair, and after some lengthy well played rallies the Goodrich ladies took the match 6-4 / 6-2.   

 

Di and Lisa's second rubber against the first pair saw a 6-1 first set go to the Goodrich pair. The second set again saw the Woolhope first pair fight back, however Di and Lisa dug deep and managed to successfully take the second set, 6-4.  Meanwhile, Sue and Karla, now playing the Woolhope second pair, after a lengthy first rubber, managed to get a speedier victory 6-1 / 6-0. This 10 point victory sees the 'D'ie Hards return to the top of Division 6 West of the H & W winter league after 5 matches out of 8.
